“WITH A FEW OF THE GUYS” *

January 7th, 1950. F4U-4 Corsair flight from Naval Auxiliary Airfield Cabanis, Texas to NAS Dallas, Texas and return.

This photo was given to me by Mrs. R.J. Sample from the estate of her husband, Robert. Fortunately, Bob recorded the name of the eight students and the flight instructor on the back of the photo.
